Yeah, but the 225 is more likely to cause long term harms

If I lost 100lbs right now I'd still be slow and clunky.

this is funny b/c one minute before reading it I was watching the part in dodge ball where patches is in the video and tells him to always pick the bigger, stronger kids so they can all gang up on the weaker kids. like winston.

Why dont you then? Everyone always says "yeh but if we were hitting hard I would beat you", give that a try mate. If the guy beats you to the punch and youre not going full speed, its even more likely he'll beat you to the punch if you are going full contact.

Also I spar with big heavy guys and some of them have heavy hands but most dont. If you dont hit hard and youre 200+ lbs youre useless.
